  • Turin – land of cars, home of FIAT

    Turin – land of cars, home of FIAT

    Visiting Turin has been on my list for a while, mainly because of their car museum (MAUTO), but then I also learned about their heritage in car manufacturing. I haven’t really checked anything before booking my flight (except flight prices), that’s how I ended up accidentally arriving on the day of the Abu Dhabi GP.…

  • Terramar – The forgotten track of Spain

    Terramar – The forgotten track of Spain

    I don’t know what is so attractive to me in old, abandoned racetracks (so attractive indeed, that with this one, Terramar, I can check the 3 oldest racetracks in Europe on my list) that I keep trying to find new ones and visit them. Someone told me that when I visit Barcelona, I should give…

    Christmas gift guide for F1 fans

    Someone has asked me recently if I could give her some good tips for F1 gifts. Well, I could! 😀 So here is my list, these are all tested things that I have either bought or I plan to buy, and I’m sure they would me great Christmas presents to any F1 fans. As a…

  • Montjuic – A great circuit with a tragic history

    Montjuic – A great circuit with a tragic history

    The Montjuic circuit was a street circuit in Barcelona that was compared to Monaco in terms of difficulty and beauty and was found (is found?) on one of the hills of Barcelona, and can be walked.  I would agree with the previous assessment as I decided to walk around it – it runs among parks,…

  • How to see the Hungaroring for free?

    How to see the Hungaroring for free?

    I am almost always leaving my country to do some F1 adventures, but I thought why not explore my surroundings here in Hungary. So I decided to check the renovation of the Hungaroring and see from above how they are doing. I could do this, because right next to the Hungaroring, there is a smaller…

  • F1 Exhibition in London aka Ups I did it again

    F1 Exhibition in London aka Ups I did it again

    I have gone to the F1 Exhibition in Vienna, and just because the exhibition moved to London and I also happened to be in London, well, I decided to check it out one more time. Especially because I knew that some of the featured cars are different. In Vienna, it took me 3 hours (even…

  • The cradle of motorsport

    The cradle of motorsport

    Every time I visit England, I am blown away at the sheer amount of motorsport related activities and places. I should not be, I guess given how many English car manufacturers are based there and all the history and tradition that surrounds England. Yet, here I am – one day wondering where I should go…

  • Autoworld in Brussels

    Autoworld in Brussels

    It was 8 years ago that I have first visited Autoworld in Brussels. I remember that I was the one pushing it, which looking back, I don’t understand, because I used to have almost zero interest in cars. Or maybe my interest was just latent… Anyway, I don’t have a lot of memories from back…

  • Is Spa the most beautiful circuit in the world?

    Is Spa the most beautiful circuit in the world?

    Short answer: yes. A bit longer answer: I haven’t been to all circuits in the world but seeing Spa, I can fairly certainly say that it must be among the most beautiful ones for sure. The nature that surrounds it makes it very special (especially if you are a fan of pinetrees and fog), as…

  • Visiting Monza

    Visiting Monza

    Monza has been on my radar for a very long time (I mean, I’m an F1 fan for abour a year, but about 10 month of that year, I have been wanting to go to Monza). Good thing is that it is quite accessible, it’s near Milan, there is great public transport there and there…
